Update: I got the replacement motherboard yesterday and went and
swapped it out this evening.  Disappointingly and very strangely,
there is no change.  I get no video out of the card, no blinking
cursor, no POST messages, nothing.  The little sync light on the
monitor goes green for a few seconds and then yellow.  Monitor, cable,
etc, worked fine on the motherboard's builtin video.  Same model card
worked fine in the same motherboard for a couple weeks before the ATI
card flaked out.  I am stumped.

Any wild-assed guesses?
